Kanye is so real, and he'll never fit a criteria. He speaks directly of his life, he knows he's an asshole and that's what I love about him. He writes of Racism, with a touch of asshole to it, a hint of cleverness, and that's what makes it so good. Mercy is definitely a song about his life, it's just not a super deep or important part of his life. Forever respect and care for Kanye West. My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy is one of the best albums ever made.
